There are 4 types of people. You’re either an employee, self-employed, a business owner, or an investor.

If you’re an employee, you have a job. If you’re self-employed, you own your job. If you’re a business owner, you own a system and have employees… people who work for you. If you’re an investor, you put your money to work for you.

What kind of person are you? Where are you headed? If you’re an employee, work to being self-employed. If you’re self-employed, create systems, hire employees, and become a business owner. If you’re a business owner, invest in assets that can make money for you passively.

Here are 22 lessons I wish I knew earlier in life…
1.No one has it all figured out. You don’t need to either.

3.Let your guard down from time to time, but make sure it’s with the right people
4.Good or bad, you can learn from everybody
5.Embrace all of your emotions… Don’t mask them, embrace them.
6.Travelling alone is better than traveling with bad company.
7.Unlearning is just as important as learning.
8.Own up to your mistakes. And do what you say you’re going to do.
9.Maturity is accepting you won’t get answers to the things that hurt you most. You must heal anyway.
10.You don’t have to learn everything the hard way. Learn from the mistakes of others.
11.One day you’re going to need to be forgiven. Learn to forgive others.

16.Spending time alone is one of the best things you can do
17.Celebrate your accomplishments.

So, if you’re able to, grab a pen an paper and write the answers to these 11 questions… Let’s go!
1.There’s never going to be a good time to start. Now is the time. So my question is, What are you waiting for?
2.Stop thinking and start doing. What can you implement today?
3.Give away your best material for free. You will attract more customers this way. Would you rather be SCARED or SHARED?
4.Stop blaming others. It’s nobody’s fault except for yourself. Will you move on?
5.I found that I get in my own way from time to time and I’m sure you’re similar. Are you willing to get out of your own way?
6.Some are wishing for you to fail. More are rooting for you to succeed. Who are you listening to?
7.Life isn’t what you think it is. It’s much bigger. Are you willing to embrace it?
8.Being a visionary is important. What do you see in your future?
9.A twist in the road isn’t the end. Unless you miss your turn, of course. Where do you need to make a turn?
10.You’re not aiming high enough. Aim higher! How can you elevate your goals, your fees, and your value?
11.There are no one-size-fits-all plans, magic beans, or secret sauces. What is your plan?
